Steroid injection therapy for foot conditions in Worcester

We specialise in providing effective and expert steroid injection therapy for various foot conditions at SO Podiatry. We use Ultrasound guidance to directly deliver the steroid injection into the targeted area. If you’re looking for relief from foot pain, inflammation, or discomfort, you’ve come to the right place.

Steroid injections are and safe and proven treatment option used to manage a wide range of foot conditions. They work by delivering a potent anti-inflammatory medication directly into the affected area of the foot. This targeted approach minimises side effects and allows for rapid relief from pain and swelling.

How long does it take before I feel the benefits of a steroid injection?

We will always use local anaesthetic with your steroid injection which can reduce your pain within a few minutes. The steroid effect will take slightly longer to occur, usually 1-2 weeks. It is advised that you take a few days of relative rest following the injection.

Conditions treated with Steroid Injections:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

    Our steroid injections can provide quick relief from the intense heel pain associated with Plantar Fasciitis. By reducing inflammation in the plantar fascia, patients experience improved mobility and reduced discomfort.

  • Achilles Tendonitis

    Achilles tendonitis can be a nagging condition that affects mobility and quality of life. Steroid injections can help reduce inflammation in the Achilles tendon, promoting healing and alleviating pain.

  • Bursitis

    Steroid injections can effectively treat bursitis, a condition characterised by the inflammation of bursa sacs near the joints of the foot. By reducing inflammation, we can help patients find relief from pain and stiffness.

  • Neuroma

    Steroid injections can be a valuable part of a comprehensive treatment plan for neuromas. They can help reduce inflammation around the affected nerves, providing relief from the pain, tingling and numbness associated with this condition.

  • Arthritis

    Steroid injections are often recommended for individuals suffering from arthritis in the foot and ankle. By targeting the affected joints, these injections can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, enabling a better quality of life.

The benefits of Steroid Injections:

  • Quick Relief

    Steroid injections can provide rapid relief from pain and inflammation, allowing you to get back on your feet sooner.

  • Non-Invasive

    Unlike surgery, steroid injections are minimally invasive and require no incisions. This means less downtime and a faster recovery.

  • Targeted Treatment 

    Steroid injections precisely target the affected area, minimising potential side effects on the rest of the body.

  • Proven Effectiveness

    Steroid injections have a long history of success in treating foot conditions, providing relief for countless patients.
